How many muscles a human being typically has?
about 400
about 500
about 600
over 600
The Muscular System is made up of three muscle types:
Skeleton, Cardiac, Vessel muscles
Skeleton, Smooth, Vessel muscles
Skeleton, Cardiac, Smooth muscles
Skeleton, smooth, autonomous muscles
All muscles have fibers that bundle tightly together. The fibers are:
The muscle filaments
The muscle cells
The muscle ligaments
The muscle parts
One of the properties of the muscles is contraction. How does it happen?
they contract after receiving nervous signals from the nervous system
they contract after receiving signals from the skeletal bones
they contract after receiving signals from the autonomous system
they contract after receiving signals from the smooth muscles
One of the properties of the muscles is extensible, which means... (choose ALL that apply)
they can be stretched as their fibers can change their length
they can be stretched without damage by the application of a force
they stretch after receiving signals from the nervous system
the smooth muscles can stretch as they are smooth
Skeleton muscles (answer ALL that apply):
can be extended and contracted
usually work in pairs, while one contracts the other extends and vice-versa
are mainly made of slow switch muscles
are usually used to endure
We can make our muscles enlarge, become bigger by...
exercising them with increased work
eating more protein
stretching them regularly
Abduction is
moving the muscles towards the body mid-line
moving the muscles away from the body
stretching the muscles
contracting the muscles
Voluntary muscles. It is correct that (ALL that apply)
they need our conscious effort or decisions to make them move
they don't need our conscious effort or decisions to make them move
all skeleton muscles are voluntary muscles
all muscles are voluntary muscles
Digestion is directly related to: (ALL that apply)
the voluntary muscles
the involuntary muscles
the Smooth muscles
skeleton muscles
Muscles control: (ALL that apply)
every movement that we consciously make
every movement we don't know we make
the blood pressure by constricting the arteries
what we think
When we practice Jumpimg Jacks, the following muscles are involved:
biceps, triceps, trapezius, gastrocnemius
biceps, triceps, orbicularis, gastrocnemius
biceps, triceps, orbicularis, frontalis
biceps, quadriceps, trapezius, frontalis
Our muscles help control the temperature of our bodies. The muscles's contribution to the body warmth is
30% to 40%
50% to 60%
about 85%
about 75 %
Fast twitch muscles are specifically related to:
short explosion burst
endurance
contractions
extensions
Slow twitch muscles are specifically related to: (ALL that apply)
reacts instantly, quickly use their energy and tire out
endurance
react and use their energy slowly
they can work for longer periods
Muscle fibers brake down then rebuild the tissue. This is required for muscle
elasticity
strength
growth
relaxation
The type of nutrient that helps build the muscle is:
carbohydrates
fat
protein
glucose
